Dear Mr. Rampure:

I have carefully considered your appeal to waive the Faculty ruling that you be Required to Withdraw for a Minimum of Three Years. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request. You may now resume your studies at Queen's University.

We have processed your Return to Studies form and your file has been reactivated. For information on registration and course selection, please see: www.queensu.ca/artsci and click on €œStudents@Queen€™s€ For information on tuition payment and accessing SOLUS (Queen's new on-line student system), please see: www.queensu.ca/registrar or contact the Registrar's office at (613) 533-2040. For more information on selecting courses, please contact our office at 613-533-2470 for advice or assistance.

Your academic advisement report indicates that you require 6.0 units (2 half credit courses under the old system) in elective courses to graduate with your Bachelor of Arts (general) degree in Philosophy. Keep in mind that a cumulative GPA of 1.60 is required to graduate with a three-year General degree. Your current cumulative GPA is 1.79 so provided that you successfully pass these final courses for graduation with no additional failures, you should satisfy this requirement. I would draw your attention to the full academic regulations, particularly 13 (Academic Standing) and 16 (Requirements to Graduate) in the Arts and Science Academic Calendar: http://www.queensu.ca/artsci/students-at-queens/academic-calendar I would also refer you the GPA calculator tool on the Arts and Science website http://www.queensu.ca/artsci/students-at-queens/gpa-calculators

As part of your return to studies, you may wish to seek academic counselling from an advisor in the Faculty of Arts and Science Student Services office to go over your Program Requirements as well. Appointments can be made by dropping in to our office (Main Floor Dunning Hall) or by phoning 533-2470. You may also wish to contact your Department of concentration for advice on the successful completion of your academic program. The Learning Commons in Stauffer Library provides a range of services, including workshops designed to improve study skills and develop strategies for meeting the demands of academic life. Student Wellness Services located in the LaSalle Building at 146 Stuart Street also offers personal and academic counselling free of charge to all Queen's students as well as individual consultation to aid in coping with difficulties of a more personal nature.

I hope that you will take advantage of the support services available to you at Queen's. In returning to a regular course of study it is your responsibility to choose courses carefully, seek out the advice necessary to improve your academic performance, and maintain a GPA consistent with the requirements for successful completion of your plan. If you have any questions about this decision, please feel free to contact the Faculty Office for advice or assistance. I wish you success in your future studies.

Yours sincerely,


Sue Blake
Assistant Dean (Studies)
